That was the best they could do at the moment since they had no idea where had Eric run off to, and how far he had run.
Their speed was clearly not comparable to that of Eric, as he was traveling more than thrice the speed of sound into the void.
Even the strongest among the chasers the Realm 5 experts could only have a speed of 0.8 sound speed, which was way slower than Eric's.
If that wasn't enough, they had already lost more than 30 seconds of chasing up to him, thinking that he would appear in their close surroundings.
But they didn't have the need to actually catch up to him immediately, as long as they managed to find a trace of him through their spirit sense they would catch up to him sooner or later.
With those thoughts in mind, each of the chasing experts run at full speed in their direction trying to find traces of Eric's appearance or presence.
